More than 50 of them are first-time honorees or returning after at least a year’s absence, says the Indiana Chamber of Commerce.Nearly half of the honorees are from the small employer group, with all categories seeing an increase.

2/21/2018 A single vehicle crash overnight in southern Hamilton County left one person with serious injuries.Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to a crash on 111th Street near Cornell Drive shortly after 11 p.m. Tuesday.Investigators from the Sheriff’s Office Crash Team reported a black 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe was eastbound on 111th Street approaching Cornell when it ran off the pavement, striking a culvert and then a tree on the right side of the road.

2/20/2018 CARMEL — Police in Carmel have arrested two juveniles in connection with social media threats made against Carmel High School.The juveniles, identified as Carmel High School students, were arrested for felony intimidation and taken to the Hamilton County Juvenile Detention Center.The Times’ newsgathering partner WTHR reports the threats surfaced last week after 17 people were shot and killed at a high school in Florida. Police and school administrators reassured students and their parents that they had investigated the threats.Security plans will remain in place at Carmel High School on Tuesday with increased police protocol, though police say evidence shows the social media threats allegedly made by the students "were fabricated by both juveniles and they had no means to carry out the threats."

2/19/2018 INDIANAPOLIS — Gov. Eric J. Holcomb issued a proclamation recognizing FFA Week in Indiana. Claire Baney, a 2017 graduate from Hamilton Southeastern High School is the 2017-2018 Indiana FFA State President.Baney joined Hamilton Southeastern’s FFA organization during her freshman year of high school. She had no agricultural background before she joined FFA.She has competed in multiple FFA contests, specifically speaking competitions, throughout her high school FFA career and earned second and third place awards a few times throughout her time in the organization.Now she enjoys her duties as president and informing people about agriculture.

2/21/2018 The Indiana High School Athletic Association has suspended eight Hamilton County basketball players for a violation of rules.

Six players from Noblesville and two from Hamilton Heights recently played in basketball games at the Noblesville Boys & Girls Club. According to IHSAA by-law 15-1.2a, athletes aren’t allowed to participate in “any organized non-school sports competition during the season, or at any time prior to the conclusion of the student’s participation in the IHSAA Tournament Series.”

IHSAA Sports Information Director Jason Wille said a seventh Noblesville player has been removed from the program by the school. “It’s my understanding,” Wille said, “that the seventh player had been doing this in previous years as well.”

Matt Lane, the school’s athletic director, confirmed Wednesday that Dave Roth won’t return as the Lady Golden Eagles’ head coach next season and that “the position is open and posted.”

Roth led Guerin to a 6-18 record this season, which included a first-round win over Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory in their Class 3A sectional. In two seasons at Guerin, Roth guided the Golden Eagles to a 13-36 record.

After Westfield (10-12) took a 4-3 lead a couple minutes into the first quarter, Mt. Vernon (12-9) went on an 8-0 run and never looked back on its way to a 65-59 win.

The Shamrocks didn’t go down without a fight, though. Senior Josh Van Dyke led Westfield in points with 18 and was one of three Shamrocks’ in double-figures. Junior Zach Banks finished with 13, and junior Caleb Welch chipped in 11. The trio combined to knock down nine of Westfield’s 11 makes from behind the 3-point arc.

2/21/2018 Richard L. “Dick” DeLashmit, 79, of Lebanon, passed away Saturday, Feb. 17, 2018.He was born in Indianapolis on October 5, 1938, the son of the late John Samuel and Mary Maxine (Gwinn) DeLashmit.

2/21/2018 As the primary election approaches I feel it’s important for the voter to become familiar with some of the insider issues that may affect your voting pattern and specifically when considering incumbents and Township Government.Today I read that Pike Township in Marion County has a budget approaching $40 million and the Trustee is paid approximately $94,000 per year. Wow!The Pike Township board members are paid $5400 per year as per their published report printed in the Indianapolis Star Feb. 19, 2018.I am a past member of the Noblesville Township Board and have some knowledge of the requirements including the dedicated time required to attend meetings and preform these required statutory board duties.

2/7/2018 Tri Kappa of Noblesville would like to say THANK YOU to the CITIZENS OF NOBLESVILLE and beyond for your generous donations to the 2017 Red Stocking Fund. You helped us surpass our goal of $10,000.00. We raised $13,709.00 for the Annual Tri Kappa Red Stocking Fund. 100% of the money donated will be distributed to the school children of Noblesville through the Noblesville Township Trustee’s Office and Noblesville Schools. Since 2006, the Community of Noblesville has raised over $147,000.00 through this fundraiser.

1/17/2018 “An informed citizenry is at the heart of a dynamic democracy,” wrote Thomas Jefferson.Like it or not, journalists do the lion-share of reporting to Americans as to what its government, be it national, state, or local, is doing or considering.So during a time when we can choose from a multitude of news outlets, it’s important that we understand basic principles of journalism – independence, accuracy, fairness, the separation of opinion from news reporting.That education should start no later than high school with students learning the responsibilities that come with the freedom of speech and freedom of the press guaranteed by the First Amendment.

2/21/2018 They told corny jokes. They tried to make each other laugh. They played ice-breaker games to get to know each other. The 2018 incoming class of Conner Prairie’s new youth volunteers on Saturday all gathered for the first time together at the interactive history park in Fishers.“This is the biggest class we’ve ever had,” said Sarah Morin-Wilson, Conner Prairie’s youth experience manager, as she welcomed the new volunteers. Becoming a youth volunteer is highly competitive. This year, of the 105 kids ages 10-18 who applied to be youth volunteers, only 57 applicants were selected to move on the interview round. And of those, only 34 kids were actually invited to be a part of the youth volunteer program. The new class helps make up the 118 total youth volunteers this year at Conner Prairie, which opens for the season on March 27. With a daily general attendance increase of 13 percent from 2016, to 175,040 in 2017, and an overall attendance increase of 10 percent from 2016, to 428,602 in 2017, more youth volunteers are needed now than ever before.

2/21/2018 For the past several years I have had the pleasure of reading this weekly humor column on WFYI radio. In preparation for broadcast on a new station, I was listening to some old audio files and realized that, like so many other people, I don’t like the sound of my recorded voice. This reminded me of a dear friend who I wrote about five years ago when he passed away, a man who really did have a voice for radio.John Gillis was as tall as a grizzly bear, but as gentle as a teddy bear. The 40-year veteran of Indiana radio was an iconic figure. His loyal listeners looked up to him. “I guess being 6' 4" was a big help,” he once told me.John loved the sound of his own voice. I offer this as high praise, because each word that tumbled off his tongue was not only meticulously chosen, but it was savored by listeners for still another nanosecond before he went on to the next. “His 60-second traffic reports,” said longtime associate Jeff Pigeon at John’s funeral, “lasted about eight minutes.”

2/19/2018 Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Indiana, following heart disease. About 2.4 million Hoosiers, or 2 out of every 5 people now living in Indiana, will eventually develop cancer. To help raise cancer awareness and support those affected by the disease, House lawmakers participated last week in the Suits and Sneakers Challenge, hosted annually at the Statehouse by the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches. February is recognized as National Cancer Prevention Month, which is the opportune time to learn about the steps that can be taken to minimize the risk of cancer and save lives.

Warner Sallman is an American born artist who was born in the late 19th century. He devoted much of his life to creating religious images that focused on Jesus Christ. Each of Sallman’s pieces is meant to provide a depth of religious value and bring a sense hope and comfort to the viewer. His most famous work is “The Head of Christ”, which he completed in 1941. The timing of this piece could not have been better as the world was in the early stages of World War II, and the U.S. would soon be entering the fight. This work would be printed in pocket size photos and handed out to the soldiers being shipped off to war to provide comfort and inspiration to many. There is a good chance that you have seen this picture as it has been printed hundreds of millions of times.
If you would like to see “The Head of Christ” and many more of Warner Sallman's original works then you can visit us at the Scheierman Gallery, located on Anderson University’s campus in Anderson, Indiana. We are open Tuesdays and Fridays from 1-4 p.m. or you can make an appointment to visit. We are closed during university breaks, which can be found on the Anderson University Academic Calendar, with exception to summer break when you can visit by appointment only. We look forward to seeing you!
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
